Curious what your site could look like?
Tell us your business name and what you do. We will generate a concept of what your homepage could look like.
Every site we build is fully custom, so think of this as a starting point, not the final product. Your actual website will be designed, written, and built by a real person.
Free, instant, no email required.
Most websites overcharge or overcomplicate. Often both.
Agencies charge $5,000+ and take six weeks. DIY builders expect you to become a designer. Template sites look like everyone else. WordPress needs more maintenance than your truck.
You just want a site that makes you look professional when someone Googles your business. That's what we build.
Three steps. Done.
Tell us about your business
A 20-minute call or a short questionnaire. We learn what you do, who you serve, and what makes you different. That's all we need.
We build it
We write your copy, design your layout, and optimize everything for speed and search engines. Every page is reviewed by a human before it goes live, not a template with your logo slapped on.
We keep it running
Hosting, security updates, performance monitoring, and 4 content updates per year. We handle the tech. You handle your customers.
Everything a small business website needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Custom Design
Tailored to your brand, not a generic template. Your colors, your voice, your business.
Professional Copywriting
Website copy written from your brand intake and refined until it sounds like you, not a template.
Mobile-First
Looks great on every screen. Over 60% of your visitors are on their phone.
Lightning Fast
Static sites load in under a second. No WordPress bloat, no database queries, no waiting.
SEO Built In
Meta tags, schema markup, sitemap, image optimization. All the basics handled from day one.
Contact Forms
Form submissions routed directly to your email. Spam filtered. No third-party accounts needed.
SSL & Security
HTTPS by default. No plugins to update, no vulnerabilities to patch, no midnight emergencies.
Uptime Monitoring
We watch your site 24/7. If something breaks, we know before you do.
What your site could look like.
Three industries. Three voices. One approach to craft.
None of the businesses below are real. They're concept sites we designed to show the voice and craft we'd bring to your build. If you're a trades business, a law firm, or a community organization, your site could look and feel like one of these.

Why work with us now.
We're building our first cohort of client sites right now. We won't fake testimonials or hide the fact that we're new. Instead, here's the honest case for working with a new agency, and what our founding clients get that later clients won't.
Direct founder access, always
Every email you send, every question you ask, every update you request goes straight to Carter. No ticket queue, no account manager filter, no junior dev sandbagging your work. The person building your site is the person answering the phone, and that relationship won't change as we grow.
Your project gets real attention
A new agency with five clients gives every one of them full focus. Your site won't be another entry in a template queue. Your voice gets written carefully, your layout gets thought about specifically, and your feedback gets acted on the same day.
Founding pricing, permanent
Founding clients get $999 setup (vs $1,500 standard) and that rate is locked in for as long as they stay. Your monthly retainer is also price-protected against any future increases. In exchange, we ask for honest feedback and permission to share your story once your site is live.
When our founding clients launch, their stories (with their names, their businesses, and their actual words) will replace this section. We'd rather earn real reviews than manufacture fake ones. If honest beats polished for you, we're probably the right fit.

Everything you might be wondering.
How long does it take to launch my site?
It depends on the back-and-forth on copy and design. Most of the calendar time is collaboration, not actual build time. We'll give you a specific timeline once we kick off your project.
What if I cancel? Do I lose everything?
No. Your site stays live for 30 days after your last payment, and we send you a complete export package (HTML files, all images, your copy document). You own your content. No penalties, no hard feelings.
What happens if you're unavailable?
Your site keeps running 24/7 regardless. Every SiteCitrus site is static and hosted on a global CDN, which means there's no server to crash, no database to go down, and no CMS to lock up. For urgent support requests I aim to respond within 24 hours, always. For longer absences I maintain a network of trusted developers who can cover emergencies.
Do I own my website and domain?
Yes. You own all your content (copy, images, media). The domain stays in your name. We just manage DNS for convenience, and we never hold domains hostage.
Will it work for my industry?
We work with plumbers, law firms, accountants, churches, dental practices, and B2B services. If you serve customers and need to look professional online, we've got you covered. Regulated industries get a compliance review step before launch.
What if I already have a website?
We rebuild it from scratch using your existing content as a starting point. The result is faster, cleaner, and built to last. Your old site keeps running until your new one is ready.
